Actually I don't mind these topics since they absolutely could have an impact and I always feel as though it's critical to have access to all of the talking points and narratives from all sides. They can change on a dime.
Plus, things could get much more strange and the reactions are important input for me as well. I'm just seeing that AG Barr has resigned. He will now suddenly be the hero of the Democrats I imagine. Will be interesting to see if Trump goes for a wartime consigliere to replace him. The Michigan forensics report on the voting systems makes strong AG action mandatory I would think. Barr obviously did not have the motivation to take the next steps. Might need to take control of all voting machines that were impacted in similar ways in the few cities that swung the election. Erasing system and voting application log files is pretty serious.
Also, the successful cyber attacks on SolarWinds, FireEye and most large government agencies and companies needs to be addressed in a strong way as well, since it might have also impacted the voting systems and the election. That's true whether your narrative is that the hacks were done by China (CCP, PLA) or Russia (Cozy Bear, Fancy Bear). I don't have enough data yet to know either way. When I was still working I saw very effective attacks from both sources, but I don't see any fingerprints being posted yet.
As a result I'd be very interested in input folks might have as to whether Trump will invoke Executive Order 13848 - that was from Obama originally, but expanded by Trump in 2018 to its current form - Foreign Interference in U. S. Elections. It calls for a report from the Director of National Intel to be delivered on Dec. 18. So we have a few days to discuss.
Best to all.
